UNITED STATES GRACE MANN KRAG, OF GHIGAGQ ILLINOIS BROILING APPARATUS Application filed May 17, 1930. Serial No. 453,123.

This invention relates to broiling appacomprises the socket 17 in which the plug ratus, and has for its object providing suitend 21 of the handle 22 can be inserted for the able grill means for holding meat which is to purpose of manipulating the grill holder be broiled and to devices for manipulating when desired. a I the apparatus and for supporting it when not In order to suitably support the apparatus in use. when in use, I provide a frame work 25 which Of the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 is a is adapted to rest on the bottom of the oven, plan view of a meat holder which embodies ordinarily in the oven pan 26, and each of the the features of my invention; Fig. 2 is a upwardly projecting legs 27 supportsafiange longitudinal sectional elevation along the line 28 upon which the frame 10 rests when in 22 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a rear end view of the use. When it is desired to invert the grill holder; Fig. at is an enlarged detail view of holder so as to broil the other side of the. the rear portion of Fig. 2; Fig. 5 is an enmeat, it is necessary only to shift the frame larged detail section of the front of Fig. 2; sidewise, as indicated in Fig. 6 by dotted Fig. 6 is an elevation of the holder when lines, and invert it, the handle 22 being used mounted in an oven in operative position; forthat purpose.

Broiling apparatus comprising an enof the support. closing frame, a grill plate supported in the The broiling apparatus which I have illusframe, a second grill plate mounted in the trated comprises a rectangular frame 10 frame above the first plate, means for supwhich has sides consisting of sheets of metal porting the second grill plate in adjusted pohaving flanges 11 on the lower edges for sup sitions in said frame, said supporting means porting the grill 12, which is of suitable mesh comprising a series of corrugations formed for properly supporting and broiling the in one end of said frame, and a corresponding meat. In the side walls of the frame are series of corrugations formed in one end of formed means for supporting a second rill said second grill plate and adapted to coact 13 in an adjusted position. The means Wh c in adjusted positions with said first series I prefer for supporting the grill 13 comof corrugations.
